Little Talbot Island State Park

With more than five miles of beautiful, white sandy beaches, Little Talbot Island is one of the few remaining undeveloped barrier islands in Northeast Florida.  Maritime forests, desert-like dunes, and undisturbed salt marshes on the western side of the island, allow for hours of nature study and relaxation. The diverse habitats in the park host a wealth of wildlife for viewing, including river otters, marsh rabbits, bobcats, and a variety of native and migratory birds. The surrounding surf and tidal streams present excellent fishing for bluefish, striped bass, redfish, flounder, mullet, and sheep head. Other popular park activities include hiking, kayaking, beachcombing (use of metal detectors is prohibited north of the first boardwalk and landward of the last high tide line), surfing and picnicking. Beachside picnic pavilions are available for use by park visitors and can be reserved in advance for a fee. With Kayak rentals for those that wish to get wet; Segway rental for those that prefer to stay dry, and camping for those that wish to stay the night, there really is something for everyone at the park.
